Your format is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

I'm not sure of the version of progress that you are on, if you are on 10.1b (possibly 10.1a as well) or later, there is a datetime-tz data type and related functions that work pretty good for this. Check out the timezone function in openedge help or pdf docs from psdn.

If your version is prior to 10.1 I'm thinking there wasn't anything this nice available in progress and you may need to resort to an api call of some kind.
